"May the Lord our God remember in His kingdom all Holy Catholic Apostolic Church, which heralds the Word of Truth and fearlessly offers and distributes the Holy Oblation despite human deficiencies and persecutions moved by the powers of this world, in all time and unto the ages of ages."

This need for some to cling to confederate participation trophies (statues, flags) is getting out of hand.

And erasing history, no matter how reprehensible is also getting out of hand.

Ooh complete role reversal for Gabriel here.

On the bright side, Toledo has only been in the national news twice this past decade for white supremacist related incidents...the other two times the city made news wwas for undrinkable water. Supposedly the algea content is high in Lake Erie right now and they're warning the water may get contaminated before the year is up...let's hope so, it's not good to have your last news item be "that city with the terrorist".

Something being historical or part of a culture doesn't make it automatically proper for display in squares or in prominent public locations. Depictions of dropping nukes on cities and people whipping slaves are also 'historical' and even of cultural significance (insofar as they should be remembered and not whitewashed from history), but that doesn't mean they should be on public display to promote 'pride' in that culture or action, as opposed to being put in a museum with information about them.

What are you accusing me of, Porter? I want you to explain your comments. Maybe this is a misunderstanding between us. Are you saying that I'm a racist?

I know you're not a racist brother. I may not share your affinity for Confederate history and culture, but I know that your love for the South has nothing to do with racism. We wouldn't be good friends if I thought otherwise.

The place for such things is in a museum, not in public parks and the like. They are no more appropriate for display by the state than Nazi propaganda is in modern Germany. A regime founded upon the idea of white superiority and black inferiority and subservience - as the Confederacy most certainly was - should not be celebrated in any way by any modern government which claims to be egalitarian and inclusive.

I'm with the camp of 13 million Americans that believe politicians are, or are controlled by, Reptilians. I think only monks can solve this problem. It doesn't seem right that they prefer to ignore it.

I've never understood it. Never liked it. I don't eat beef anymore, but when I did I just wanted steak or hamburger (or hamburger steak.) Meatloaf always seemed like a waste of good meat. I never got the concept. Am I the only one?

Depends on how it's done. Diced mushrooms, onions, salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, maybe some cumin and light on the tomato products...that's decent. You can use ground pork or turkey.

it's good comfort food,especially in the winter time. What about Shepard's Pie or beef stew? To me these things each have their own space.

No, no you can't.

I really love Bill Hicks, though I haven't seen many comedians good or bad to compare him with.

The guy who accused Denis Leary of stealing his material, right?

I don't really know anything about that, but I find Bill Hicks infinitely funnier and smarter than Dennis Leary.

There was a whole big thing about it. I remember reading about it when that unwatchable Carlos Mencia guy was outed as a big time joke stealer. I forget what YouTube channel or blog it was on, but these comedians were posting definitive proof about how Mencia stole entire routines pretty much word for word from various comedians - not like a line here or there or whatever, but entire routines - and then someone brought up how Bill Hicks accused Denis Leary of doing the same thing when Leary dropped the No Cure for Cancer album in the 90s. Bill Hicks was furious because apparently Leary had lifted entire bits from Hicks on the CD. (Which was pretty bit at the time, as you might remember.)

Louis C.K. made a similar claim, about (apparently) some of Leary's most famous work no less.

Wow. Was he able to substantiate it like they were with Mencia? They had tapes of Mencia doing other people's routines word for word. George Lopez, Ari Shaffir, Bobby Lee. Mostly guys he'd opened for at some point.

Don't see how you could get much joy out of any of these guys. They seem just -- evil. There have to be better comedians out there.
